A classic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic stress with tapered joins and wedge-like finishing strokes that stay clean rather than ornate. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow with generous internal space, while lowercase has a steady rhythm and open counters. Numerals follow the same contrasty, old-style-inspired modeling, with curved forms and sharp terminals that read well at display and text sizes.
Well suited for long-form reading environments such as books and editorial layouts, where the structured rhythm and clear serifing support continuous text. It also performs convincingly in headlines and pull quotes, where the high contrast and sharp terminals deliver a formal, premium impression.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, suggesting authority and polish rather than friendliness or experimentation. Its sharp, high-contrast detailing gives it a refined, editorial feel suited to serious content and heritage branding.
The font appears designed to provide a familiar, historically rooted reading experience with a touch of display elegance. It balances traditional proportions and restrained detailing to remain versatile across text and larger sizes while preserving a refined, authoritative voice.
The design leans on strong verticals and decisive serifs, creating a confident texture in paragraphs. Distinctive moments like the sweeping tail on the capital Q and the energetic diagonals in letters like K, V, and W add character without breaking the conventional text-serif voice.
